perhaps you can use a script like this:

for ctid in `vzlist -1`
do
echo $ctid` vzctl exec $ctid uptime`
done

Thx, this script returns list of VMs and their load, uptime like:
320 07:08:34 up 1 day, 45 min, 0 users, load average: 0.12, 0.04, 0.01
330 07:08:34 up 27 days, 50 min, 0 users, load average: 0.21, 0.08, 0.04

The load average is for the VM assigned cpu or for entire node server? But there i dont see the mysql process usage for VMs

Once you've established wich VM is the culprit for the high load, you can use one of the standard approaches to find out what's causing the load within the VM.

This isn't anything openvz specific, just investigate like you would on a real HW server.

Then, this is no longer an openvz question. Using the script I gave you, you can tell which CT has high load. Once you know that, you can run a linux command in that CT to find out which process consumes the CPU. For example:
vzctl exec 320 top -b -n 1 | head -20

Or: vzctl exec 320 top -b -n 1 | grep mysql

Also note that all container processes are also HN processes.
So this command on the HN will tell you something about all the mysql processes:

ps -ef | grep mysql

The following command will list load average details for all containers on a host:

vzlist -o ctid,laverage

Wow, that command rocks, thanks TOCICI! vzlist is extremely powerful, look at vzlist -L.
